OKC’s top 10 plays of the 2012-13 season

One of the best things about the Thunder is not that they’re really good. It’s that they’re really good and really fun.

Just trying to pick 10 plays with this team is hard, because there are legitimately 25 plays that are worthy of being recognized. Russell Westbrook’s pile drives to the bucket, Kevin Durant’s majestic posters, Serge Ibaka’s volleyball spikes — when you show up at the arena to watch OKC, you know you might be in store for something jaw-dropping.

So before we move on to the Thunder’s second season, here are my top 10 from the 2012-13 regular season:

10. Spin cycle

Holy gorgeous, that was beautiful. The spin KD puts on makes him look like the Black Swan, then the finger-roll is so delicate and perfect. Though Durant’s most incredible play of the night might’ve actually been a missed dunk.

What’s so great about Russell Westbrook’s move to goaltend Rocky’s halfcourt shot wasn’t just the pure evil it takes to do it. But it’s the fact that Westbrook did it genuinely to fire up his team, and himself. With the whole arena booing him to death, Westbrook hit a game-tying 3 at the end of regulation and while the Thunder ended up falling in overtime, it still cemented Russ as Enemy No. 1 in Denver.

Re: overseas training: not implausible to imagine a situation where Americans go overseas for special training, then come back here with good covers as they already have citizenship. However, I have no clue as to most of the facts besides what's been on twitter.

Just a quick piece of thunder news, we have avoided the dreaded Reggie Miller for at least the first two playoff games. Announcers will be Ian Eagle and Greg Anthony for the first game, and Matt Devlin, and Mike Fratello will be announcing the second game.

see @bmuelle22 reddit was all over that shit, go back a decade or so and NO ONE would of been any the wiser till the news told us other wise. thats just how today is, everyones got a smart phone, internet , and a youtube account lol
